Let good manners make you money!

Since most people missed charm school, how does one learn the best behavior to use during meals at business functions? Here are a few simple rules to keep in mind: Do not make "chomp" on ice cubes. Never use a toothpick while at the table or eat with your elbows on the table. Tear rolls and bread into small pieces and butter them one at a time. For the men out there, always rise when a female joins the group. By following these simple etiquette rules, you will go a long way toward impressing your prospects and your peers.

Moral of the story:

Always put your best foot forward.
